Without a doubt, one must be very vigilant in order not to fall behind in the modern era of graffiti media that still revolves around Instagram and Tik Tok. Within these pocket universes, Instagram, in its desire to compete with the giant Tik Tok, periodically develops new tools that spark our imagination and our desires for communication and stardom. One of those tools is the reel: a window to other worlds in the form of videos in which less is more.
Humans like the summaries, the conclusions, the (not necessarily happy) endings and the drawers, in order to elaborate, go beyond logic and not pigeonhole ourselves. Otherwise known as the spirit of contradiction. In this climate of invented endings, 2022 is about to expire and we want to say goodbye to it with a compilation of the year’s most viewed reels. A selection of what interests us, excites us and provokes us, judged by likes, contradictory comments, and visits.
10. Nug
With this reel we have proof that slapstick is always a good resource. Adapted to graffiti, in the corridors of a subway station, with a monarch like Nug through the Unrulgallery account, and we have a hit: “Territorial pissing.”
9. Drako
Once again the writer Drako from Porto doubles up on the list, this time showing us the wonder of the rainbow with refillable markers. Not everything is controversy.
8. Aches
In eighth place is Aches, an old acquaintance of ours from Dublin, whose technique and magic stand out in this video.
7. Jonacito & CMS
The sooner they start the better, and in this video we can see that Jonacito has some great teachers. The CMS crew shows us more with less. Plastic, one outline and style.
6. Cean_Silva
In sixth place and from the Montana Colors Chile account, we have Ceon Silva with a balanced mix of graffiti with classic characters and stencil.
5. Jnco
Half of the list is taken by this writer Jnco and the pole he uses to spray paint at considerable heights. A do-it-yourself magician —as demonstrated in this semi-tutorial— with its proponents and opponents. No, he hasn’t invented the wheel. Almost everyone knows a writer who has done something similar. But are there pictures of it?
4. Minjaokz
In fourth position of the most watched videos is an example that anything is possible, that we shared at the time on the Montana Colors Germany account. Minjanokz demonstrates it to us in this video. He has the skills we all dream of.
3. Guser
The bronze medal goes to writer and marathon runner Guser 360 . And there is nothing we like more than adrenaline running through our veins (or someone else’s). The recipe: A bomber with a 360º camera, silver+2g and the police on your tail. Nothing can go wrong.
2. Remi Gaillard
Classics never die, especially if they continue to surprise us. Remi Gaillard dressed as an owl and defecating on a Police Nationale car, may not surprise many, but almost all of us love it.
1. Drako
Love moves mountains but hate creates them. Bad Kid Drako, whether he knows the phrase or not, uses “better that they speak ill of you than not at all” to perfection. He knows it, encourages it and has a good time doing it. Watch it here.
Decide for yourself which reels deserved to make this list on our IG account.
